to make the interplay of feet and beats smoother, even-though neither really exist in free verse! I’d read the last line as two immediate stresses or two iambs, and hope that the two combine smoothly, that ‘quite’ is a beat but not an ictus and this makes the poem, here its tone, softer.
Or perhaps I can think of it in process, shaping the poem into and out of metrical ghosts, and using the moment to do so smoothly
